2 visits to National Trust Properties: #5from7photo

I have been processing images from 2 visits to National Trust Properties this week: Shugborough and Biddulph Grange Gardens. At Shugborough I was quite interested in the way they were letting the meadows grow (even though most of it was buttercups!), whereas the gardens at Biddulph Grange are more formal and managed.

To start with, here are the meadow grasses at Shugborough:

Grasses with seed heads
Wildflowers in the meadow grasses
A lot of buttercups…

And the more formal gardens at Buddulph Grange:
